California

Island foxes are endemic to California's Channel Islands and resemble house cat-sized versions of the Gray Foxes on the California mainland. Standing at only 12 inches high and 4-5 lbs, the Island Fox is a prime example of insular dwarfism; a phenomenon where relatively large animals undergo evolution in a isolated environment (like an island), resulting in a miniaturized version of its former species. When you're stuck on an island with limited space and resources, it pays to be small!
